![]() We also received a loan through the federal government’s Paycheck Protection Program, which allowed us to bring the majority of staff back to their original hours and salaries through July 2020. To support hourly staff’s lost wages through state and federal unemployment benefits, Outdoor Outreach applied to the California Work Sharing Program. To do this we significantly reduced leadership salaries (30 percent for our executive director and 20 percent for three senior directors) and reduced all hourly employees’ time by 50 percent. In March, our leadership team made the decision, with the approval of the board of directors, not to lay off any staff.

While our Power Your Drive for Fleets program provides the make-ready infrastructure to support electric vehicle charging, it does not provide incentives toward transitioning fleets to electric. Despite living within miles, many youths have never visited state parks and beaches, often due to the distance of the parks and lack of access to a vehicle/public transportation. One of the biggest barriers to accessing outdoor spaces for program participants is transportation. The organization provides nearly 2,000 youth with 500 meaningful outdoor youth development programs each year. Outdoor Outreach works to reach youth from San Diego’s most vulnerable communities and eliminates barriers to accessing outdoor spaces in southern California.
